<h2>Parsers</h2>
<h3>Introduction to Parsers</h3>
<p>Many web pages must show internationalized data, like numbers and dates
(or, at least, formatted for a single locale). All server technologies (Java/PHP/.NET)
offers means to format and parse data from strings, but, standard JavaScript has a very
small suport.</p>
<p>Parsers is a script that contains several classes descending from the 
<a href="../api/class_Parser.html">Parser</a>
class, wich contains two methods: parse and format.</p>
<p>The most important parsers are:
<a href="Parsers_number.html">NumberParser</a> and <a href="Parsers_date.html">DateParser</a>,
but there are also others, that will be explained later on this chapter.</p>
